Example: Update the XBee firmware synchronously using a Remote Manager Data File

To update the XBee firmware synchronously with Python 3.0, but using the device firmware image already uploaded to Remote Manager, upload the device's *.ebin firmware to Remote Manager:

1. Download the updated firmware file for your device from Digi's support site. This is a zip file containing .ebin and .mxi files for import.

2. Unzip the file and locate the .ebin inside the unzipped directory.

3. Log in to Remote Manager.

4. Click the Data Services tab.
5. Click Data Files.
6. Click Upload Files; browse and select the *.ebin firmware file to upload it.
7. Send an HTTP SCI request to Remote manager with the path of the .ebin file; see the example below.

import base64
import requests
 
# Location of firmware image on Remote Manager
firmware_path = '~/XBXC.ebin'
 
# Remote Manager device ID of the device being updated
device_id = '00010000-00000000-03526130-70153378' 
 
# Remote Manager username and password
username = "my_remote_manager_username"
password = "my_remote_manager_password"
 
url = 'https://remotemanager.digi.com/ws/sci'
 
# Form update_firmware request
data = """
<sci_request version="1.0">
  <update_firmware filename="firmware.ebin">
    <targets>
      <device id="{}"/>
    </targets>
    <file>{}</file>
  </update_firmware>
</sci_request>
""".format(device_id, firmware_path)
 
# Post request
r = requests.post(url, auth=(username, password), data=data)
if (r.status_code != 200) or ("error" in r.content.decode('utf-8')):
    print("firmware update failed")
else:
    print("firmware update success")
